>Whenever I want to create an adventure story, I always face the same problems: what is the motivation of the protagonist? And what is the challenge,in other words, villain?
>The villain to make an adventure story work has always been simple.
>When religion was prevalent, the villain was always the devil.
>Except in those days of religion,It was Nature that was often used as a villain.A story about protagonist coming back from the desert or drifting sea at the very edge of his or her potential is always inspiring, but that's an area fit for tv viewing, but not for the comic movie(anime)
>And then poverty became the villain.fat royalty, aristocrats, rich officials, etc. As you can see from Grimm's fairy tales or Japanese and French folk tales, it used to be very difficult to eat a proper meal.When everyone else couldn't eat their food,it made for compelling, hateful villain.
>there are still poverty but in modern era,anyone can eat a hot bento if they really wanted and look at all the powerful people in the world today.They are not fat. On the contrary, they go to the gym to stay in shape.so the fat villain has gone somewhere else
>And so the last remaining and most commonly used villain even today is people of other ethnic group.
>Speech from ”can there be classical Adventure in modern era?”1986
